Now that we are seeing movement above ground, I'm going to be taking a gazillion Freedom Tower photos. Here are the first hundred...:)

Another test run. I think I like this one the best. In fact, all of the falls
should have been installed under east river briges, and they should be
permanent. Can't wait to...

Not only that, but it sits in between the massive railyards development just to the west, and the massive MSG/Penn Station redevelopment just to the east. It practically begs to be developed.

Easily the best news of the year. And perfect timing, considering news from the Con Ed site development...
